God Calls Moses: The Burning Bush — Grades 1–3 Sunday School Lesson

Free grades 1–3 Sunday school lesson on Exodus 3:1–4:17. This reviewed seven-page PDF gives a volunteer teacher passage-specific background, a 45-minute plan, complete text detective worksheet, printable six-card sequence, answers, and family follow-up.

Moses sees the bush that burns without being consumed; God calls him, says he has seen Israel’s suffering, and sends Moses to Pharaoh. The guide also covers God’s name, Moses’ questions and signs, his concern about speaking, and Aaron’s help. The memory line “Certainly I will be with thee” is correctly labeled an Exodus 3:12 KJV excerpt addressed to Moses in this mission. The lesson avoids fire and snake reenactments, treating speech differences as moral failure, or treating a special promise to Moses as a blanket promise of ease. Later gospel teaching is attributed to 1 Corinthians 15:3–4.
